They’ll Be Driving Big Black Express Clydesdales at the 2015 Midwest Horse Fair
Madison, WI, February 5, 2015 –– The Express Clydesdales of Express
Employment Professionals have made appearances all over the United
States and Canada, including such notable events as the Calgary
Stampede, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Rose Bowl
Parade. These magnificent horses are on the road over 200 days of the
year making appearances on behalf of Express Employment
Professionals and helping to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals and other charitable organizations.
The horses range in height from 18 to 20 hands, and weigh in at an average of 2,000 pounds. The team pulls a
beautiful, handcrafted wagon replica, custom built and based on a Studebaker design. The wagon features rollbearing wheels, brakes, and lights, and weighs over 3,000 pounds.
Each member of the team wears a handcrafted English leather show harness with silver and chrome trim,
handcrafted in Ohio by the Shanahan Harness Shop. When in full dress, their manes are on the right side,
braided in a four-strand French style, and trimmed with ribbons and other decorations. The foretop is also
braided, and their tails are tied up with a bow.
